Inspired by the Iron Maiden poll. I listened Holy Diver yesterday and thought would be cool a Dio poll as well. First 3 are classics but Holy Diver is the top for me. One of my fave classic heavy metal albums. RIP Ronnie James.

Nothing per se, but the whole "band poll" idea has got way out of hand in the last couple of months. At least try making it more interesting by confining it to a specific time frame, something like "Best post-classic Dio" would have been cool, it's pretty much obvious that Holy Diver is his masterpiece._________________Permabanned

Ok, you are right in some points. Anyway we have this topic so everyone can share thoughts about Dio. For example about your idea. If post-classic, I would vote for Lock Up The Wolves (if that counts) or Angry Machines (really dark mood on this album).

Should have put more choices as Dio, the singer, himself has such a vast Library ... what about Rising or Heaven And Hell ...

Anyway the first two Dio albums are near identical in my book ... but I choose The Last In Line because of the cooler album art _________________Family first but Blasphemy a close second...Good Deals with ApparitionOfferings,theBeast,bMz,BNB888,Doom-Mantia,funeralfog666,Gangraen,GhoulesDesCultes,Goab,Grell,gristle,ICP666,Iscariah,moonan,Penetration Hammer,PeterVenkman,ravn,Sv.,tehomapzu,13,vorfeed
